Human robot interaction

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Intelligent Systems and Assistive Technologies Laboratory (ISAT) in the School of Industrial Engineering at Purdue University, under the supervision of Dr. Juan P. Wachs. Previously, I received the M.S. degree from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University in 2016, and B.S. in the School of Information Science of Technology at Southeast University, China in 2013.

My research interest lies in human robot interaction and robot vision. I desire to design innovative interaction and communication protocols between humans and robots, and develop innovative frameworks leveraging on computer vision and artificial intelligence to enable a more natural, efficient and coupled cooperation between human and robots.
